Venue changed to Traverse County.
MEMORANDA
Motion 10y defendant to change the
place of trial to Traverse county on
the ground that at the commence
ment Of this action, he was and stlll
is a resident of that county. Before
the time for answering expired, Il no.
tice was served on plaintiffs attorney
demanding change, which notice
was signed 81. w. Reynolds, Dfdt.
Attorney" No previous notice
of appearance as retainer had been
given or served. nor did this demand
contain any notice that Mr., Reynolds
had been retained or that he appear.
ed as defendants attorney, further
than that he signed the demand. The
plaintiff makes the point that the de
mand was Intellectual for any purpose
inasmuch as no notice had been given
of Mr.. Reynolds retainer. The fol-
lowing cases seem to hold adversely
to the plaintiff, and l think correctly
so: Quick VS. Merrill, 3 Gains r. 1873 !;
McKinster VS. Van Zandt. l Wend. l
Q3).
The question as to convenience of
witnesses is not considered. The af-
tidavits bearing on the question are
not as full and complete as they
should be; and besides that, the ques-
ton is not, strictly speaking, proper
ly before the court. All that portion
of the defendants affidavit not relat-
ing to his place of residence, may be
regarded as a voluntary contribution
Of irrelevant. redundant and imma-
terial matter. The ground of the mo-
ton is stated to be that Grant county
is not the proper county for trial of
the action. If it is not the proper
county, it is not SO because the de-
PENDANT does not reside there; and
this question of residence is the only
one that comes within the ground
stated in the notice.
On examination of Rule . find
that the ground of the motion is SUI
ticiently stated in the notice.
This determination is of course
without prejudice to the plaintiffs
right to move a change back to Grant
county.

The obstruction caused by that to-
boggan slide on Court house hill was
plainly foreseen at the time the vii
lage officers authorized its erection
there nearly year ago. And rely
ing upon the authority thus granted
the enterprising citizens of Norris
expended several hundred dollars on
it. that this like every other energetic
town might furnish some sport to en-
liven the otherwise dull hours OF a
long and dreary winter. Such enter
prise is helpful to the town and peo-
pie who live in it, and since there
are only few weeks until the slide
will again furnish healthful exercise
and much amusement to the many
who will gladly take advantage of it,
and as it can be no positive injury to
any one or cause any unforeseen incon-
venience or annoyance to any who
reside in the neighborhood it is to be
regretted that its removal is now to
to be insisted upon.

Dear friends, how are you to-day?
Have you hea I'd the news say?
News! what ews, come tell me quick:
To McCollam's shoe store mean to stick.
Ha! Ha!-Come now. it is good;
For laughing do not think me rude.
/ know McCOllam's boot~and shoes,
Their merits all can't review.
walk with them through frost and snow,
They serve me we'll where'er / 90,
And when want to rest my feet
McCollam's slippers are treat.
Why does Lis foot-gear wear so well?
The reason now to you I'll tell:
OF first class stuff they are all made,
Besides, Mcclellan understands the trade,
His boots and shoes are cheaper far,
Than the o-called cheap goods are,
And when your old sh oes he does mend,
They seem to you as new again.
All who want fair dealings, and square,
To McCollam's we say at once repair,
And your family bring and dress their feet
At the Golden Shoe Store, Main Street.

Gone Crazy.

Ole Anderson has been in the viii

about town cutting wood and doing
other work with G. burst, and by
many who saw him he was regard.
ed as very eccentric charac-
ter. In several instances
at places where he was working he
has cut up peculiar freaks and acted
in very strange manner, but he was
not considered dangerous and no par
ticular attention was paid to him.
Last Sunday his eccentricity took
violent turn and it became neces-
sary for the officers to take him in
charge. Monday he was taken before
the probate court for examination,
and was found insane and was taken
St. Peter Monday night.
